Liisa Thomas

Liisa Thomas is a privacy, cybersecurity, and AI governance lawyer who helps boards, Chief Legal Officers, General Counsel, and executive teams lead organizational change in a fast-moving regulatory environment. She works with companies that need practical, defensible support for privacy compliance, cyber risk, AI governance, data protection, and enterprise-wide compliance transformation.

As a law firm partner, adjunct professor, author, and advisor to legal, privacy, security, and compliance leaders, Liisa brings a rare combination of legal judgment, regulatory fluency, and change-management experience. Her work focuses on helping organizations move from policy to practice: building governance structures, aligning stakeholders, preparing boards, supporting legal and compliance teams, and creating programs that work in real business conditions.

On Compliance Chronicles, Liisa speaks with leaders who have navigated privacy, cyber, AI, and compliance challenges inside complex organizations. The podcast is designed for board members, CLOs, GCs, CISOs, CPOs, CCOs, and business leaders who are responsible for turning regulatory pressure into sustainable action.

Whether the issue is AI adoption, cybersecurity oversight, privacy program maturity, regulatory scrutiny, board reporting, or cross-functional governance, Liisa’s focus is the same: helping organizations manage risk, build trust, and lead change without getting stuck in theory.
